PROCESS OF MANUFACTURIN CANDY.

1384,3151 Specification of Letters Patent. No Drawing. Application filedJanuary 12. 1920. Serial No. To all whom it may cmwem:

Beit known that I, WILFRID PAUL HEATH, a citizen of the United residentof 1ca go, in the county of Cook and State of II more, have inventedcertain new and use.-

thereof a flavoring gas not only imparts a desired flavor to the candybut in: creases its purity and Wholesomeness.

In carrying out my invention I inject into the candy mix while it iscontained in a suitable heating chamber and in a liquid or semi-liquidcondition, carbon dioxid or other suitable sterile gas from a cylinderunder pressure or from any other suitable source of supply. Any suitablemeans may ployed for distributing the gas through the material containedin the beating chamber, such as a perforated pipe extending through thebottom of the chamber to which the gas supply pipe may be gas is meantany gas inert cal changes in the candy.

rior to starting the enough gas is admitted to completely fill thechamber above the level of the mixture, thereby expelling the airtherefrom. The heating paddles are then put in small currents of gas areadmitted during the heating process.

rhe process of manufacturing candy consists in confining the candymixture. while in a liquid or semi-liquid condition, in a suitablecontainer; injecting a sterile gas into said container, driving the airtherefrom, agitating or stirring said candy mixture to incorporate thegasinto said mixture, and thereby reducing the specific gravity of saidmixture and imparting a gaseous flavor thereto.
